Important Note If Using a non-Code Bluetooth Device:
To connect to a Bluetooth device not manufactured by Code, you will need the Bluetooth address (often referred to as the
BD_ADDR) of that device. The 12-character Bluetooth address can be found on the device near the serial number. Then visit Code’s
website at: http://www.codecorp.com/bdaddr.php and enter the 12-character address to create the QuickConnect Code.
You will need to locate the Communications (COM) Port assigned to the Bluetooth serial port protocol before installing the
Bluetooth Configuration Manager software that is included with your Bluetooth adapter (e.g., COM 10). This is the COM Port
through which the CR2600 will connect.

17.0 - CR2600 Maintentance
The CR2600 needs only minimum maintenance to operate. The tips below for maintenance suggestions.
Cleaning the CR2600
The CR2600 window should be clean to allow the best performance of the device. The window is the clear plastic piece inside the
head of the reader. Avoid touching the window. Your CR2600 uses CMOS technology that is much like a digital camera. A dirty
window may stop the CR2600 from reading bar codes.
If the window becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a facial tissue (no lotions or additives) that has been
moistened with water. A mild detergent may be used to clean the window, but the window should be wiped with a water moistened
cloth or tissue after using the detergent.
The following agents are approved to clean a Code bar code reader:
1) Alcohol Wipes
2) Clorox® Non-Bleach Disenfecting Wipes
3) Clorox Bleach Solution (10% Clorox bleach, 90% tap water)
4) Medical DiAirKem
5) Sani-Cloth® HB, Super Sani-Cloth® Germicidal, Sani-Cloth® Plus Germicidal Disposable Wipes
6) Virex® II Disinfectant Cleaner
Technical Support and Returns
To modify any default settings, download the CR2600 Configuration guide at www.codecorp.com/files.php and scan the appropriate
code. For user specific configurations, contact Application Engineering at Code [email protected].
For all returns Code will issue an RMA number which must be placed on the packing slip when the reader is returned.
